Sean

I'm not convinced she'll last that long. She's held on longer than most would in her condition, but I keep seeing conflicting reports about her being ready to go etc, and then others saying she's not ready to say goodbye. I'm probably wrong, but I'm thinking she won't last until the middle of next week. The reason they are saying this now is that it is an all encompassing best prognosis outcome.Doctors from experience are painfully reluctant to give you a prognosis in case they get it wrong even when there is clear medical evidence they could cite for an estimation.When my grandmother was on her deathbed I asked Doctors repeatedly how long she had and no one would tell me.I reckoned at the time she had 24 hours or so as I knew her medical records so knew what was going on and also knew she was unconscious and had not received any food or water for a couple of days as we refused intravenous feeding as she was terminal anyway.She died 36 hours after I asked so I wasn`t far out. In Joey`s case though she is young and presumably her vital organs are taking longer to shut down and give in.I am surprised she has lasted this long but I think it is safe to say from the wording of recent articles that she almost certainly won`t make February.

Duplicates may be replaced though providing they haven"t died .

Just to clarify picking someone twice in this game will not double your points if they die.

Thinking of you and your family Sir Creep.

Is Joey Feek number one on the Drop 40?

Whilst he looks a bit older than when I last saw him pictured I still still think he looks a few years younger than 92.I think it was wise to leave him off this year.Still working and walking about (albeit with a stick) and has no known health problems or even rumours of any health problems. The reason he looks so much better in the May photo is because he's smiling, and it takes years off him. Maybe it is also the fact he was cold today and shivering in the cold.

Saw some pictures of his birthday a couple of hours ago but can`t seem to find them now.Maybe they have been deleted.They wheren`t particularly flattering.He was sitting upright in a chair with dark glasses on.Looked a lot thinner than when he was last pictured.

She looks really really frail in the Daily Mail pictures taken yesterday.Reminded me of Henry Allingham`s 113th where he died a month later.I don`t think she will outlast the year.

I am dreading Joey Feek Martin Crowe Susannah Jones and Emma Morano dying as I think nearly everyone has them .Many of you are doing this but please highlight any of your picks in red when they die especially these ones as it saves time ha! I think most please will easily hit 4 digits this year ,at this rate anyway.

Liz Smith is very well known in the UK as a comedy actress who habitually played dotty old ladies. By her own admission, she has always looked like a little old lady! She has appeared in many popular sitcoms and would be instantly recognisable to most Brits, even if they didn't remember her name. She retired several years ago and is said to be in poor health. Lester Piggott is far from boring. He was for many years the champion flat race jockey with record numbers of Classic wins, and was known even to people who did not follow horse racing. He is famously tight-fisted, and shockingly was jailed for tax evasion some years ago. He is not much in the limelight these days, but holds legendary status in the UK and Ireland. That said, I have not heard anything that suggests he is likely to keel over any time soon. Ah, good to know, thanks. From my point of view, I'm having trouble with Liz Smith because my internet searches always prefer the US gossip lady. Liz Smith had several mini strokes a few years ago and retired due to that.She is best known as her description says for playing Nana in the Royle family which is a really popular UK sitcom that was on for many years and used to be on BBC1 every Xmas for a number of years.She is also known for being in the Vicar of Dibley another hugely popular UK sitcom that is still repeated a lot.She also had a starring role in Charlie and the Chocolate factory and in a Wallace and Gromit film and was nominated for a BAFTA for her work in the Royle family.She has also appeared in loads of other lesser known programs .In short she is a household name in the UK and will get considerable coverage when she passes away.Probably the level of her demise being mentioned on the Six and ten O`Clock news briefly. Perez de Cuellar is 96 in a couple of days and although not perhaps a household name is highly5 obitable and likewise will get substantial news coverage when he goes. Lester Piggott is very famous in Britain so is an apprropriate name in my view but I don`t think he is old enough or unwell enough to have been put on this years list.(Now I have said that he will die tommorrow!)

My predictions for the Rolling Stones deaths: Bill Wyman:October 30th 2017 Mick Taylor:December 29th 2018 Ronnie Wood: 8th August 2020 Keith Richards:1st January 2023 Charlie Watts:18th December 2023 Mick Jagger:September 17th 2030

Dreamt last night that Leslie Phillips had died the day after his 92nd Birthday (April 21st this year).I think it was down to a twitter discussion I saw yesterday after Alan Rickman`s death broke were people were listing who they wished could never die and his name came up.Also I heard about Angelil`s death just before bed last night so I guess that meant I had death on the brain while sleeping.Maybe I also dreamt of Leslie because I was wondering in the day who the next actor from Harry Potter would conk out.I figure it will be either Phillips or Coltrane.

If I were a friend of hers I would still pop in every now and then just to try and keep an eye on what von arsehole was up to.

Linda Ronstadt too, she's not in the best of health. Same with Meatloaf. Liza Minnelli is 69 also and has always struck me as someone who won`t reach a great age.

Tim Curry ,Bill Clinton George Bush Junior , Patricia Hodge, Jack Straw ,Malcolm Rifkind, Dolly Parton ,Stephen Spielberg and Donald Trump must all be crapping themselves!

Watching it at the moment.He still looks ok .He doesn`t look 83.His mind seems to be working fine too.No idea why he was on the list in 2012.

If she'd like to go in the next 5 and a half hours it would be worth an extra 6 points in the DDP. Warped priorities, I know. Well the sooner she dies the sooner the suffering s over.She is most likely completely unconscious or in excruciating pain.There is a very good reason a lot of people use the phrase "happy release".
